attributed to heart disease are caused by

there any positive cure? The best answer

CHANGE OF PUBLIC SENTI-

The radical change of public senti
ment on the subject of chattle slavery
and in respect to free school education
which are all in the memory of very
many persons now living. were noticed
in the TELEGRAPH last week. There
are still other important changes
which have occurred during about the
same period of time, which have great
ly altered the condition of society.
One of these is the use of intoxicating
drinks. A little over fifty years ago
there was but one side to the drink
question. There were no advocates of
total abstinence in the country general
~, no temperance lecturers, no temper
ance societies. Ministers, church
members, professional and non-profes-

ROUGH WEATHER ON THE
LAKES.

The present fall season has been re-
markable for rough weather on the
lakes. A violent gale swept over near
ly the entire chain of lakes on Monday
last. Vessels are reported wrecked
and lost on these inland waters. Ac.
counts are given of the efficiency of the
life-saving stations at different ports
in rescuing lives from disabled vessels
and wrecks. The men belonging tC
the life-saving station at this port KEEP
one of their number on the watch day
and night, ready to render aid, if re-
qnired. They are experts at rowing
boats, and venture on a rough sea
where unframed oarsmen would not
even in an emergency think of riskins
their lives.

NORTHERN WISCONSIN IRON
MINES.

The disastrous speculation in the
Gogebic or iron mine region in the
northern part of the state and country
bordering on Lake Superior, alluded
to in the TELEGRAPH a short time
since, is becoming more and more
realized. 1t is stated that a hundred
mining companies were organized a
year ago. The largest number of these
companies were located in Milwaukee,
but Chicago and other cities caught
the mining speculation, and altogether
the amount invested in these stocks is
estimated at many millions of dollars.
Out of she whole hundred companies
it is now reported that not more than
ten have proved paying investments;
the others are mostly worthless.
Stocks that last spring sold at SIS a
share are now offered at 20 and %
cents share, and no buyers at that.
In hopes of making speedy fortunes,
hundreds of people invested all their
spare means, and are now left with
winter coming upon them without
means for comfortable support.
Women as well as the men took the
Gogebic fever, and made ventures.
Whether any persons in this city pur-
chased stock is not stated; all that is
known, there are those in this vicinity
who spoke of it as rare opportunity
several months ago. No doubt there
were tempting speculations last spring,
but the bitten ones greatly outnumber
those who made profits.

The New Haven Palladium, in an arti-
Gle on the difference of commercial
methods between former times and the
present, tells the following story of the
great Snowman P. T. Barnun was O.
hat merchant in Danbury in those days,
and together with his neighbors used to
60 to New York twice year to sell
goods and buy stock. He never let q
trip 60 by without selling" his neigh
bors as we'll as his hats. On one occa-
sion they made the journey in sloop
from Norwalk. The vessel was becalm-
ed for several days, and when it reached
He'll Gate the merry men from Danbury
each had growth of stubble on his chin
as thick and harsh as newly harvested
field. There was but one razor on board
and no strap. P. T. Barnum owned the
razor. He refused to let his fellow voy-
ayers use it for long time, but finally
compromised by allowing its use if the
dozen or more who wanted to use it
would agree to his terms. He said that
each man in turn, P. T. coming first, of
course, should shave half his face and
then pass the razor to his neighbor and
wait for his turn to clean of the rest of
his beard. In this way each man would
use the razor while it was reasonably
sharp. The terms were faithfully fol-
lowed and each man shaved half his
face. P. T. took the razor in the second
round and completed the work as far as
he was concerned, but as he stood by
the rail of the sloop, an unlucky turn of
the wrist jerked the razor from his
fingers, and it few overheard. A mad
der lot of men never sold hats than those
Danbury headgear mechanics, and P. T.
stood in danger of severe personal chas-
tisement but the funny side of it cams
to the top at last, and Barnum marched
up Broadway at the head of his first, if
not the greatest show on earth.
